Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk officially took the reigns of Twitter Thursday, announcing his plans to defeat the "echo chamber," and sacking multiple top executives.
Musk immediately terminated CEO Parag Agrawal, CFO Ned Segal, and head of legal policy, trust, and safety Vijaya Gadde, due to feeling misled over the number of bot accounts on the website, reported Fox News.

Despite the far left's impression that Musk bought the platform just to ruin their lives, the mogul actually met with several groups and is taking interest in multiple business functions within the company, according to leaked internal messages.

Musk also said that Twitter won't become a "free-for-all hellscape, where anything can be said with no consequences." Instead, the website will be "warm and welcoming to all, where you can choose your desired experience according to your preferences."
